Gregory,
I agree with a lot of what you say, but I definitely have a different idea on the 11 miles. I thought I remembered Vera saying on tape (and I found it on page 13 of the manual), that the 11 miles is nonconscious memory. The 15 inch flashlight beam is your conscious awareness. To me, this would imply that the PR'd stuff goes into the 11 miles of nonconscious memory. That's why I suggested that the connections/tracks that are made in PRing are made in relation to other information within that 11 miles. That's why activation can be difficult. We may have made connections on a non-conscious level, but we've made few if any links that the conscious mind can grab onto. Activation creates those threads that makes paths to the information.
Perhaps we ultimately agree on this. I'm looking forward to further discussions on these topics. It's a nice break from all the name calling and sexual harassment on the PR side, sigh...
